Woodland school board trustee resigning due to ill family member

Thursday's Woodland school board meeting will be trustee Julie Ann Jackson's last, as the district announced her resignation Wednesday.

Jackson cited the reason for her resignation as the need to devote her time to the support of an ill family member. She is stepping down months short of when her term expires in November and a new trustee will be appointed.

"It has been my sincere privilege to serve the students and staff of the WJUSD community," Jackson said in a statement.
